When investigating a report of abuse, that's often reasonable.

When the report itself doesn't have any abuse in it, no way.

In this case, the parents were arrested and charged. One could argue wrongfully, but given that's happened, so some kind of short-term mitigation and investigation seems eminently reasonable.
